Job Description

Job Description:

5+ years hands-on production experience, memory profiling/performance analysis in large distributed systems, a track record of safe production deployments, and strong documentation + stakeholder skills.

Position 1 Rust / Rustification Engineer (1). The hardest to source. This person rewrites memory-heavy Java services in Rust to eliminate JVM overhead (garbage collector, heap, JIT). Needs deep production Rust ownership/borrowing, async/Tokio plus enough Java understanding to prove the rewrite behaves identically, then drive a safe cutover. Target stack: Smithy Rust Server SDK, ECS Fargate on ARM64/Graviton, plus Amazon-internal tools (CargoBrazil, CDK trainable). Notably, they want someone comfortable using AI coding agents as the primary workflow for the rewrite.
